Astronomy Moon, Lunar Phases, etc

Geography- No idea.. Help?

I think you'll be fine with SOTW, do you drive around a bit? You could listen to it in Audio fashion & enjoy it, discuss it, etc.

Owl Moon has a wintery woodsy setting, does your own area happen to be like that? For books that didn't have a specific setting geographically we focused more on the other aspects of it.. like woods & owls. We rowed this book before a big family camp trip so we spent many hours on our camping trip hunting for owl pellets. We didn't find any, but we sure had fun looking.

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.

Good to know. Since Samantha is Deaf, I couldn't really 'terp it while driving, but that would have been a great idea!

It's pretty sunny in the winter here..maybe I could talk the hubs into a trip to the country in the winter, and just wait on that one??

For geography for Owl Moon, you could combine it with studies on owls look up and map the natural habitat of various types of owls. How many places in the world have some type of owl? Which don't? Etc.

Fabulous idea! Along with New England or simply the geography of the animals that live in New England. What other animals could they have seen while out at night.
